Direction: Select the segment of the sentence that contains the grammatical…

Answer: The segment 'were discussing in our' is incorrect; the verb should agree with the subject.

Correct sentence: The coach and class teacher was discussing in our class about the farewell.

Explanation

• Identify the subject: 'The coach and class teacher' — a single article 'the' before the two titles suggests both titles refer to the same person.

• Apply subject-verb agreement: when the subject is singular, use the singular verb 'was'.

• Contrast with the plural case: if the phrase refers to two different people, add the article before both nouns and use a plural verb, e.g. 'The coach and the class teacher were discussing...'.

Key tip: If two nouns joined by 'and' name the same person or thing, treat them as a single subject and use a singular verb; if they name different people or things, use a plural verb.
